Jasper is located just East of Interstate 75.  Like a slower pace?  Then take the scenic route through Natural North Florida on U.S. Highways 41 and stop by Jasper. 

 

Discover the rich history of the town by visiting the Hamilton County Historical Museum where you can learn about the local Micco Indians, pioneers, and how Hamilton County became what it is today. The Old Jail Museum is just one of our many historical sites and is the oldest jail in continuous operation in the state of Florida.  Stroll down the Central Avenue walkway and visit the historic First Methodist Church. 

 

Plan a visit in May where you can enjoy the annual Hamilton County Championship Rodeo. This action-packed two day event has good ol’ fashion rodeo events along with great food.  Attendees can enjoy events such as bull riding, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, steer wrestling, calf roping and drill teams. 

 

Jasper has something for the entire family!  June is one of the hottest months in Jasper, but it’s perfect for the  annual Wild Blackberry Festival where you can find fresh blackberries, homemade cobblers, jams and jellies, arts and crafts along with the music. 

 

Pioneer Days occurs in November, which celebrates the rich history of the count. Pioneer Days serves up old fashion recipes.  Enjoy old fashion games, and wagon rides.
